That is not the idea or intent.  However since we value proventester
karma above all others, it was deemed only necessary to have one
confirming karma beyond the proventester karma.  This is how things
worked throughout the F13 branched phase.  There is a slight wrinkle in
that right now, the bodhi code will automatically request a push of an
item that reaches this karma threshold, and I don't believe there is a
way yet to force it to wait for even greater amounts of karma.  I
believe that fine grained tuning of karma automation is planned for the
next major version (and rewrite) of bodhi.

I believe only F-13 requires proventester karma at this time.
